I know this is ‘Skylines Australia’ – but I also know that all of us appreciate the legendary Skyline GTR wherever it may be. This thread is an opportunity for me, on behalf of Jash Krishna, to showcase his MINES built and tuned – 2001 R34 GTR V-Spec II .


This GTR has been given the complete MINES treatment by its previous owner. It has a Stage 2 MINES Engine (630Hp) and has installed NISMO S-Tune suspension and a Brembo 6 Piston brake package...and so much more.

‘I FLY’ now calls the beautiful Fiji Islands its home. It gets treated very well by Jash and has the upmost respect on our roads. Jash fuels this car with Gull 98 which is specially imported into the country. The car shares its garage currently with a Toyota Supra which was a demo car for Alpine Japan.

Fiji might be known to some as one of the friendliest tourist destination spots in the world; however our car culture is starting to emerge with talent attracting international attention. We currently have 3 BNR34, one of which is a Bayside Blue Nur spec.

Okay, enough talk – I leave you all with some shots of Jash’s GTR. Hope you all enjoy :)

Beautiful car mate,

what are the roads like in Fiji?

Thanks buddy.

The roads are pathetic. We have some beautiful coastal scenery but alas, the roads are not up to the task of being worthy for such cars. There are certain pieces of tarmac where the car gets to stretch its legs :yes:

The Kings Hwy, Queens Hwy and main cities/towns are all near the coast Raj.

What do you do to stop the salty air from accumulating? Rinse, rinse, rinse...?

Queens Hwy is the 80% coastal - you will go through Villages and main towns on this road. (Suva, Sigatoka, Nadi and Rakiraki are all coastal towns). Kings Hwy will take you through rain forest's (Suva - Rakiraki) - excellent 4WD-ing.

That being said, the towns/cities are located not as close to the sea. Rinse, rinse, rinse is always the safest option :)

Been to Fiji, Terry?

Hey mate beutifull car! Will be in fiji next year in april would love to meet up and check out your cars

Thanks buddy - I'll pass your comments on to Jash. The boys back home would love to show off our rides and see what you all think :)

he has to go down that driveway every day? ouch!

beautiful car

That driveway was rebuilt in concrete for the GTR. Approach angle in the pic looks far worse then it actually is (pic was taken like that on purpose I think)

I was born in Lautoka, still have family there.

How the hell do you afford such cars LOL. Would hate to drive it there though, Sydney is bad enough!

Congrats on the purchase mate. If I ever win lotto I'll get something similar :P

Mate! Your Fiji born :cheers: This car is from Lautoka - haha. As I mentioned, this car belongs to a good buddy of mine, Jash. He has owned some pretty awesome cars - WRX STI, Supra, GTR, etc etc..

Ah yes, the lotto - Im also looking forward to that day :P

love everything bar the steering wheel :P

:)

In all, thanks for all your comments guys - appreciate all the positive comments. :happy:

Raj,

Does Jash have to stay within 200Km of home with this remarkable car and thus refill with the Gull 98?

Do Fiji roads have corrugations outside of its home city? If so, how does the S-Tune suspension handle them?

Wow mate, it's been said and I will say it again ... Beautiful car! Aesthetics, mods, colour ... the list goes on. Absolutely fantastic! I think we should come to Fiji for a visit ay.

:cheers: Thanks for the comments buddy. Always welcome to Fiji!

Raj,

Jash rarely goes outside Lautoka. However, he does have problems waiting for the fuel to arrive.

The S-Tunes are definitely not suited for Fijian roads, he drives it on the main roads in and around town. My mates and I run a small online community of motoring enthusiasts on Facebook - and I will get them to get me some photos of roads/cruise pics/events that we organize so I can share them. :thumbsup:

Very nice car. I think the previous owners name was Nick. There is a decent build thread on this car on the Pommie GTR forum.

Yep. Previous owner was Nick from GTR UK forums. Well documented thread.

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
